Yes I had great service from the Nikon Monarach African scopes. Too bad they are gone and bo customer service

That is really strange. I have 1x6 trijicon creedos on my 416 rigby, 416 rm and my way too light 458wm browning and have hammered them with no issues. The old steel tube leupolds I think were durable glass but the new stuff..not so much. This is really the first Ive ever heard of issues with...

I have given up on lightweight scopes. For me durability and reliability are more important than weight. Nightforce or Trijicon are, in my humble opinion, the best options for hunting rifle glads and neither are known for being light. Deal with wandering zeros or, worse, wound an animal because...

These numbers are rough but lets say 3-4% of people in North America eat Venison regularly and in highly impacted areas about 30% of the deer have cwd. Thats a lot of CWD deer numerically but very very few epidemiologically. Most people eating venison are probably not eating CWD positive...

This is a very polarizing topic. Nobody really wants to believe that we might not be able to eat the deer/elk/pigs we kill. Every department of natural resources in the country hopes this never becomes a reality. the entire sport hunting industry hopes this never becomes a reality. Millions of...

Prions are not destroyed by cooking and they are highly transmissible. Prions really came to light in the scientific community when it was discovered in the brains of the Fore people who were suffering from the degenerative neurological disease called Kuru. The Fore were cannibalistic and would...

Im going to just say- many PHs have had long careers with BRNO, CZ and Model 70 winchester rifles. These rifles can be had for under $2000. I think that once you get above this price point you are doing it out of want not need. You are just buying pretty wood, nicer finish or a famous name...

Marcus looks like he doesnt know how to handle or shoot a bolt rifle. I was more worried about him shooting the already injured guy. If Id been the PH i would have left him at the truck for the follow up.

people buy them up immediately and then mark them up $1000 and sell them (on here for example). You can order one through any Winchester authorized dealer. There are supposed to be more available this summer.

Winchester still makes them. Midway and Cabelas had a bunch in stock in 458/416/375 last month.

if it was a one piece leupold style base they only have one screw in the back. Countless hunts all around the world in the harshest conditions relied on this system. Many military mauser based sporting rifles use this same setup to het around the stripper clip hump. I prefer two piece bases for...

Ttt

I talked to Duane just the other day and his pamphlets are still available. There isnt. Better guy to do business with. The kind of information Im looking for tended to be published in old gun rags and gunsmithing books. I know somewhere I read a book chapter on cutting and welding two standard...
